European Parliament - EPRS Science and Technology podcasts

Following the first successful organ transplant in 1954, this procedure has become increasingly prevalent as it has revolutionised the treatment of end-stage organ failure. Nevertheless, organ shortage remains a critical problem which could potentially be overcome with xenotransplantation, regarded a promising alternative approach.

A medical procedure known as xenotransplantation that could open the door to a renewable source of desperately needed organs.
